Bejeweled is perhaps the brightest shining gem of casual PC gaming.
A few adult games made me realize I like the base concept of the game if it finds a way to feel rewarding and doesn’t ratchet up in difficulty (eg, mechanics that cover half the screen in stones)
Still haven’t really located a game that applies the match 3 formula in a way that makes me want to keep playing. EA’s touch is definitely one of those souring aspects.
It can be played on Plants vs. Zombies, too! PopCap, the devs of both games, added a version of this and Bejeweled Twist as minigames in PvZ.
Anyone got a favorite "more involved" version of this?
Or more specifically, how is the new Puzzle Quest, if you've tried it? Is it good, unlike all the mobile-centric later PQ games that came out over the years? Because until now HuniePop/HuniePop2 were still the best Bejeweled variant, IMO, but I've not tried PQ yet.
Might and magic : clash of heroes by far, but the story/overworld bits in between the actual gameplay take too long.

I really want a version of Bejeweled to kill time with on my phone. But all that seems to be available is the usual heavily monetized mobile slop.

Bejeweled Classic is the app you want, at least on Android. The app itself is free and then you can pay the $3.99 or whatever it is to remove ads permanently.
